Considering this thread is nearly 20 years old and hasn't had any posts up until recently, yeah I'd say so.

Before and after body work from being hit neatly a year ago on my way in to work.

I've got one more prednisone to take and then done with this prescription. Feeling better today than I did yesterday. Probably will still have this lingering cough for the next few months, as that is just how my luck is. According to my dad and brother, I've more or less have had a lingering...

That's near room temp. Most of these people, their shoe size doubles as their IQ.

Trust me, I know. My mom gained a ton of weight when she was given it back in the 90s/early 2000s. You're only supposed to be on it very temporarily. She was on it for, I think almost a year and gained about that much weight as well, probably why her health took a nose dive. Fortunately, its...

Welp, flu swab test came back negative, much of the surprise of my doctor. So probably just the obligatory upper respiratory or sinus infection. Doctor got me a prescription for Prednisone to last a couple days. That stuff can be quite potent if used long term.

Done that before, except with 4x4 lumber. Had to install new leaf spring shackles on a '99 F150, after one broke and punched a hole through the bed (common issue wirh the Nissan Titans until like 2009). Didn't have a lift or jack tall enough. Was it sketchy? Yeah, but it worked.

Called in today. I try not to make it into a habit of calling in. Checked my temp last night and it was 101.4⁰F. Checked it this morning and it was 100.4⁰F. Just a bit fatigued and didn't sleep well again. Kept needing to blow my nose every so often just to breathe a bit easier. Will see a...

Woke up yesterday feeling like crap. Think I got a sinus infection. Came into work and been here all day. My advisor is like, "I've been bringing in vehicles all day for you to help you make hours. The least you can do is have some motivation". I went off on him. Everyone else noticed I looked...

Looks pretty similar in design to the old VW engines. Does it run cylinder head temps sensors just to keep an eye on head temps?

Well there is a small job shops like 3 miles down the road from me that builds irrigation pump covers for agriculture. Might try them. 3 mils vs 90 mile round trip every single day, might be worth it.

Been burned far too many times turning wrenches on vehicles. Rather go back to welding and give auto the finger on the way out.

Guess my video of being only a minute is too large for the server to process.

I lost my tail today doing the recall. If the filter/heater housing wasn't tossed into the trash, I'll see if I can do a few pictures. Job paid 0.8 hours, took me from 8am to 3:30pm to get everything done. Also, due to the weather today, it took me from 5:30 to almost 7 to get home. Normally...

One thing is for sure, being a commissioned based auto tech is not all its cracked up to be. So far today I have been on the struggle bus, trying to disconnect QD fuel lines off a 2010 6.7 Cummins for the P65 recall. The fuel heater got too hot, melted the electrical connector, and allowed...

Its been nice outside the last few days. Would have been a great opportunity to either work on the sled or tear the VW apart. Sadly all I had accomplished was doing an oil change on the truck. This weekend is supposed to be cold again and I have been neglecting on getting the old 20lb propane...

New changes honestly. Robert switched the Forum software and its one of the new "perks". Chose a good time to return. This time last year, the forum had some issues and spent months getting flooded by spam. They got it working again about mid to late summer. We still catch the occasional stray...

We were told growing up to question everything...guess some did not get that memo late 2019-2021. Definitely question things when the sources have a tendency to lie about everything as well.

If doing a lot of spray arc, sure.

I use C25 (75% Argon/25% CO2). Might run straight CO2 in the future.
